Item Description
I know that Indian Zeolites and associated species are everywhere, but you must appreciate them for what they are. They are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of their respective species extant. This piece is actually from a find from around 20 years ago. It features many sharp, lustrous, prismatic gemmy green color crystals Apophyllite measuring up to 2.6 cm sitting atop VERY lustrous, pearly white Stilbite on matrix. Great quality overall. One day (eventually) India will not produce any more of these Zeolites (and associated species), and they will more than likely receive great recognition for being the amazing display specimens that they are. Priced at $1500.
